Mixed BagOk, after all my slating of tunes it's time for everyone to get some payback.
Any feedback is appreciated. Good and cuntstructive.
Finally got back in to the studio last week with Banga to finish this tune off seeing I wasn't happy with it the first time. Fattened the bassline, got a new vocal in the breakdown, ditched the trancey riff, ditched the first breakdown and mixed the acid up.
http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/bongo/Bongo_banga_narcoticgen.mp3
128 kbps mp3 sample (1.7mb)
If the hotlink doesn't work, copy and paste it in a new window.
Cheers guys, be sending this off next week to some labels and if it doesn't get signed I'll end up releasing it myself.

ill gladly give you some feedback Bongo
Been looking forward to this day for a long long time, putting aside my expectations from a tune from you(i mean for someone so vocal about how crap things are and where they should go then i was expecting mind blowingness) with a open mind i listened to your track and my honest , hand on heart feedback is .... it is dull, goes no where, completelly fizzles out after the break,yeah has a funky bass line, cool thats 1 element,if this got played in a club i reckon the crowd would be pretty uninspired or excited by it
sorry, harsh but fair, you kinda left yourself open for it really, i mean for someone who continually mocks others hard work and contribution as shit just because"you" happen to not like it i was expecting far far far more but instead you confirmed what i knew anyway that sitting in the back seat is so easy, but driving takes that little bit more
put your money where your mouth is, press it up

I would agree with that. The acid line most definately needs to be lower in the mix, it dominates over the beats at the moment making them sound a bit washed out.

Mixed BagCheers Marc, that's EXACTLY the kind of feedback I was wanting. Thanks man.
I'll disagree to an extent in that tune shouldn't really be going anywhere stratospheric anyway, it's just funky warmup tackle with a good groove, well, that's my intention anyway. But I'll still have a think about it, see if I can come up with a few ideas after the breakdown.
I actually want the acid to be prominent in the mix as it's the main part of the tune, especially after I ditched the trancey riff.
Jay, cheers for pointing that out, I'll tell banga to ran the acid through a low-cut filter to try and get a bit more separation in the mix. I'm thinking it masks the bassline waaay too much, but I still want the acid to be very prominent tho'. Should be achievable yeah?
Thanks guys, good, honest, harsh feedback is exactly what I want.

Mixed BagAnd just to clarify, how is calling something shit mocking it?
If I was mocking it, I'd be teasing it wouldn't I? I don't get personal, all it'll be is an off-the-cuff comment.
I mean, for fuck sake, if someone wants to call my track shit, then go ahead, it's just an opinion, everyone's got their own, and I'll be thankful they're being honest about it.
You know the weird thing is there's many music styles which I hate, country music being easily my most hated, but I'll still appreciate a well made country music song. Even some of the gash top 40, I can still appreciate it even if it's annoying as hell. But, at the moment, it's beyond me to do the same with a lot of hard dance.

It's hard for me to say really mate as I only listened to the track on the Mono speaker on my Mac. I would ask him to remove some of the low freq's anyway, but I would definately put the acid a bit further back. Take 3dB off it & see how it sits in the mix, I'm pretty sure that will make it sound more together.
Where is Matt these days?

Funk - NRG - TranceReally like the first part of the track, really feels funky and groovy, but as already said above, the acid line is way too much and seems to dominate the whole track, which makes the kick sound pretty weak IMO.
I really dont like that vocal in the breakdown, dunno why.
Loving the funkiness of the whole track though, a bit more work and I reckon' this would be a cool warm up tune.

Marc, I've always said it needs saving by injecting some funk back in to it. I've also said it needs to find it's roots again, and that would be with some funk, groove and housey influences. Go read the your thoughts? thread again.
You'd do well to remember that funk and groove is what made Tripoli Trax such a great label.
Also, when's the last time a hard dance tune came out with some nice funky acid?
Too fucken long I'd say.
In reply toill gladly stick to my dull,flat,generic,uninspiring, formulatic,well produced crap tunes
Sounds good to me, it'll save me some time not listening to your tune samples anymore then. Sounds like you're still upset about my comments regarding that tune, jesus, one negative comment out of about 20 positive one's, I'm sure you've got a lot more to worry about than some insignificant dj over in Australia.
I'm not out to re-invent the wheel, just bring back some funk and fun.
But again, you're met with the same arrogance as in that your thoughts thread... djs and punters wanting some groove back and producers saying, nah there's nothing wrong with it, bang bang bang... "But why are record sales falling?"
Anyway, I'll get back to listening to Chris Hutchison's classics mix. Now THESE are fucking great tunes.

Bongo,really dont wish to waste anymore time speaking about your track as feel like ive been there now and entetained myself in the process
would just like to add also that your 1 comment did not offend me in the slightest regardless of how insignificant(sp) you are, i infact decided to bring up "your" comments as a tongue in cheek reference to mock you as you are indeed the biggest most severe critic on this site with harsh severe unhelpfull sometimes over the top critisism but when it was infact "your" turn to step up to the plate you failed in a miserable pitifull fashion
ironic? hmmmm
no offence just offering my feedback
ps: oh and no arrogance met re the funk, anyone who knows me closelly will tell you im working on bring back the vibe to tripoli, were in the middle of trying to tie up a "quality" funky tune, mak zimms style by a "quality" producer not some jump up'd (who proved himself to be) windbag

If you check that thread the very first thing I said was "bring back" funk and swing etc. I haven't got a problem with you giving me negative feedback.
"ironic?"
Fuck me, I was thankful for your feedback, but I've got a problem with you taking it personally and offering up stupid, sarcastic comments that don't even apply referring to comments that weren't even made by me. Completely out of context.
In reply toinfact "your" turn to step up to the plate you failed in a miserable pitiful fashion
Give me a fucking break, I've been happy to cop it, laugh with, accept, and think about opinions and suggestions in this thread.
Your smug, smart-arsed comments on the other hand. Well, you think about the impression it gives for the man in charge of Tripoli.
But, then again, it's good to know you have to make stuff up to mock me.

I've never insulted a producer on here, only given an honest first impression opinion of their tracks. If I'm gunna die by the sword, then keep it to how shit my track is, how the bassline does nothing for you, how the acid is boring, how it comes back in with nothing...

hopefully next time you decide to severlly take a swipe at a track and go all off tangent with your tired rants you may think back to how you feel now before you click return and maybe reconstruct your critisim so its of value to any producers you feel like tearing a strip off to ease your own fustrations within the scene

To be perfectly honest Marc, while you are perfectly within your rights to say that you don't like the track and suggest improvements (read James and Jays comments as an example) there is no need to start prattling on, calling Bongo a jumped up windbag is fucking pathetic. This is someone who is pretty much just starting out in production, I bet your first few tunes weren't anything special either right? I know exactly what your response is going to be (Just replying to kind to what he says to other producers): I have never seen Bongo resort to personal insults. Why should you have to be a good producer to be able to comment on a track? Thats a load of shit and you know it
Just say that you don't like the track and be done with it, with your high and mighty attitude that you've shown in this thread it's downright childish to resort to what you have written.
Edit: For the record, it's not as if Bongo is wholly to blame for making this track, Banga is also partly to blame, but I bet you wouldn't make the same comments to him right?

I'm tempted to respond to the needing it bit but... Let's keep it to the track now fellas. I'd love some more feedback. The harsher the better.
From what I gather the general consensus is fix the acid (bring down in level, LCF), tighten bassline a tad, and maybe bring the energy levels up a bit when it comes back in. Thanks everyone.

Errrrm, I'm not sure if you've missed the point I was trying to make or not? All I'm saying that if Marc is having a go at you for making this track then he should be having a go at Banga as well which I bet he won't. I'm not sure whats so funny about that, maybe I selected the word blame based on how Marc feels about this track, I don't blame you at all, I think it's an alright tune, nothing special, wouldn't buy it because I've got enough fillers in my collection and I definitely don't need another one.

Well it is your fault you bastard
A few years ago I would've probably snapped it up, but I'm way to selective these days, if I need a filler I'll dig out something old and minimal rather than something new.
Exactly, it's not as if you're some old skool producer or anything, I'm guessing this is your first proper tune?

proper hard nrgBongas, i think the bottomline is that you are capable yourself of deciding what this tune is lacking or really needs to improve things. I understand that its good to get comments or ideas on your work etc,.. but i think you just have to be honest with yourself here dude.
Are you happy with the tune? If you are, and i think you are, well.. thats all you should be worrying about..
Im done with the days of posting clipped tracks for feedback etc.. I stick to what i like doing and am not fussed if someones not liking it.
Do your music for yourself mate, if peeps wanna come along for the ride then thats just a bonus
EDIT: i'll just add that i think any publicity is good publicity, and from this thread your farken laughing

Bongas, i think the bottomline is that you are capable yourself of deciding what this tune is lacking or really needs to improve things. I understand that its good to get comments or ideas on your work etc,.. but i think you just have to be honest with yourself here dude.
Are you happy with the tune? If you are, and i think you are, well.. thats all you should be worrying about..
Im done with the days of posting clipped tracks for feedback etc.. I stick to what i like doing and am not fussed if someones not liking it.
Do your music for yourself mate, if peeps wanna come along for the ride then thats just a bonus
EDIT: i'll just add that i think any publicity is good publicity, and from this thread your farken laughing
Never a finer word spoken
and yep any publicity is good.
And Luke, I can't wait to hear what your making in the next 6-12 mths

To be perfectly honest Marc, while you are perfectly within your rights to say that you don't like the track and suggest improvements (read James and Jays comments as an example) there is no need to start prattling on, calling Bongo a jumped up windbag is fucking pathetic. This is someone who is pretty much just starting out in production, I bet your first few tunes weren't anything special either right? I know exactly what your response is going to be (Just replying to kind to what he says to other producers): I have never seen Bongo resort to personal insults. Why should you have to be a good producer to be able to comment on a track? Thats a load of shit and you know it
Just say that you don't like the track and be done with it, with your high and mighty attitude that you've shown in this thread it's downright childish to resort to what you have written.
Edit: For the record, it's not as if Bongo is wholly to blame for making this track, Banga is also partly to blame, but I bet you wouldn't make the same comments to him right?
Wonga if you read through the thread then youll see that its not about being able to make good tunes to voice a opinion on tunes as yes you are right that is bullshit,
This has stemmed from Bongo(and hell be the first to admit it)severe and sometimes over the top in his critisisms, such is life
Now on my part,i did see it as a chance to put the shoe on the other foot,couldnt resist if im honest,thats the fun of message boards i guess,unprofessional maybe, but musics a hobby not a job so in the same veign why shouldnt i get involved in the duals,if that makes me high and mighty cause ive had tunes released then so be it but im far from that
yeah it got carried away,on both sides i might add,again such is life, i wont cry over it as im sure bongo wont
Bongo(honestlly this time) good luck with it,no hard feelings,best advice has already been given, make tunes for yourself,whoever comes along for the ride is a bonus,and youll never please everyone so dont try to,
PS Reality, nice 1st or 2nd post, as said above it wasnt because he disliked something of mine as my shit does stink so not against being critisised,far from it, it was about the way he went on about everything which triggered this,nice of you to register just to let me know though,live by sword etc, guess i been told hey
WONGA!

Coolio, I just felt like having a rant at you really, as if I really give a shit about something as petty as this lol
I do know that you're not high and mighty at all, I've got the utmost respect for you for what you've done in your 'career' but in the case of this thread you did come over that way, shit happens eh?

Hey Luke, Most of the feedback has been good so take that away
and put it to good use. If you like what you do and have a
vision, stick to it. Focus on developing a sound that is
unique to you. Good luck.
Cheers,
Matt
